Great teachers inspire students to take the skills and ideas learned in the classroom and apply them to future endeavors.
I believe teaching is an interactive, dynamic and constantly evolving endeavor that goes far beyond mastering a subject. It involves a willingness to always stretch teaching practices and ideas in order to ensure that students gain the confidence and skills needed to learn in the classroom. This promises students a lifetime of learning opportunities and the skills to apply historical thinking long after our class ends.
